I hope all the mothers everywhere had a good one yesterday. My mom is away, so I didn't get to actually wish her a happy day, although I did talk to her Saturday.
Anyhow, I got to thinking about how the gifts we receive reflect who we are and how our loved ones perceive us.
Thus, I think I need to tell you about mine....
A jug of brush killing Roundup
An ultra nifty bumblebee fishing lure.
A tidy little angel food cake.
Big bag of black oil sunflower seeds.
Package of beet seeds
Home cooked breakfast of French toast and homemade sausage, cooked by a daughter who also milked the cows so I didn't have to.
A steady, all weekend, uninterrupted supply of library books to read, plus the chance to be the second person to read a first edition Mercedes Lackey
Pile o' firewood....hot water and warm mornings are most welcome in my world.
You gotta love 'em, don't you? My family I mean...I feel so well cared for and sheltered...and so very, very understood!

Those are wonderful gifts! We are so blessed every day to have the family we have. :)
Sounds like a great family!
Yes, that would make for a great weekend. How nice is that!!!
Not what the marketers try to get people to buy for Mother, but much more thoughtful.
Sounds about perfect!
Good 4 you! Very thoughtful gifts.
One thing I admire so much about your family is that thought and time behind the gifts you give. What amazing kids you have, and what an amazing mom you must be. I am so glad that you had such a wonderful Mother's Day. I love you!
Dani, I loved them! When we were first dating I was pretty poverty stricken...the boss bought me a bag of laying mash for my birthday and nothing could have been more welcome!
JB, I love 'em....and I'm not prejudiced or anything...
Steve,It was really nice...plumb excellent in fact!
Jan, fitting, simply fitting. lol
WR, it was indeed!
FC, I was just running out of bird seed and starting to ration it so I didn't have to spring for a bag. Now I have lots
Kristen, thank you so much for your kind words...we may not be rich, but we do have fun...and we love you too. Take care...
they sound like wonderful presents...b/c you appreciated them all...very useful, thoughtful gifts...a whole lot better than some unwanted thing that would be a dust collector, not that you wouldn't have love that too..but...
our dust has enough places to settle, w/o giving it more of a chance!
I love your gifts! I would so much rather have things I want than some trinket picked up because they had to. Sounds like you've been blessed with a special family.
Anon, I love it when people give me presents that fit. Things for the garden, bird feeding, reading, and of course good food, fit me perfectly. This was a terrific Mother's Day in that respect. And oh, yeah, I have dust and plenty of spots for it to perch!
SC Momma, sometimes they drive me crazy, but I sure do love 'em.
